INPUT:OFFSET
The INPut:OFFSet command sets the input threshold for a channel or group of channels, over
which the input signal must cross to cause an interrupt event. This command sets the value in the
8-bit DAC to which the input signal is compared. It is important to note that the actual input offset
value is affected by the INPut:RANGe command, as the response has been normalized to ±10 V
range. The actual input offset for the allowable ranges are as follows:
Range Entered Threshold Actual Threshold
±10.0 x 1.0x
±100.0 x 10.0x
INPut:OFFSet <voltage_level>,<channel_list> Where <voltage_level> ranges from
-10.00 V to +9.96 V.
Where <channel_list> is the standard
channel list format supporting Channels 1
through 16.
EXAMPLES
INPut:RANGe 100,(@5:10)
Sets the input range for Channels 5 through
10 to ±100 V
INPut:OFFSet -5.0,(@5:10)
Sets the input offset for Channels 5 through
10 to -50 V
INP:OFFS? 9
Returns the normalized input offset of -50 V
-5.000 for Channel 9
INP:RANG 10,(@1:4)
Sets the input range for Channels 1 through
4 to ±10 V
INP:OFFS -5.0,(@1:4)
Sets the input offset for Channels 1 through
4 to -5 V
INP:OFFS? 3
Returns the normalized input offset of -5 V
-5.000 for Channel 3
